3 d. ago ‘It’s nature at its purest – remote, quiet and rejuvenating’: readers’ favourite wild places in Europe

From kayaking between icebergs in Iceland to a Pyrenean hideaway, our tipsters know how to get away from it all• Tell us where to go for late summer sun – the best tip wins a £200 holiday voucherOne of the most magical places I’ve been is Lake Saimaa in eastern Finland – a huge labyrinth of islands and tranquil forests where you don’t come across many people. We rented a lakeside cabin (typically they cost from about €100 a night, sleeping two) and watched the midnight sun shimmer across peaceful waters. Days were spent kayaking between uninhabited islets or hiking pine-scented trails, with only the call of black-throated divers (or loons) for company. We visited the Linnansaari national park on an archipelago in the middle of the vast lake (the largest in Finland and fourth largest freshwater lake in Europe), where encounters with rare Saimaa ringed seals await. It’s nature’s embrace at its purest – remote, quiet and utterly rejuvenating.Anthony Continue reading...

7 d. ago The one change that worked: I abandoned my cynicism – and joined Europe’s biggest gay choir

I’ve sung at the Royal Albert Hall, made friends with people I would otherwise never have met and felt the power of being seen and heard for who I really amIt is April 2022 and I am standing in the middle of the stage at Cadogan Hall in London. As the pianist plays a plucky staccato intro, it dawns on me that I am about to sing the West Side Story classic I Feel Pretty, with choreography, in front of a packed audience, alongside 200 gay men.This was my first time performing with the London Gay Men’s Chorus (LGMC) – Europe’s largest gay choir. I first saw them perform years earlier in Soho, where they sang Bridge Over Troubled Water at a vigil for the Pulse nightclub shooting in Florida in 2016. After making it through the pandemic, the chorus’s years-long waiting list and months of rehearsals, I was under the bright stage lights, trying to remember the first line of the song and thinking: “what have I got myself into?” Continue reading...
